The roof was lifted off the Sage on Saturday night as one of the UK's most exciting musicians took to the stage.
Sheffield singer-songwriter Rebecca Lucy Taylor, better known as Self Esteem, has come a long way since going solo from Slow Club in 2017. She was named the BBC Introducing Artist of the Year and has been nominated for Brit and NME awards, while her second album, Prioritise Pleasure was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize alongside local lad Sam Fender.
She's also written the score to theatre show Prima Facie, starring Jodie Comer, played numerous festivals, and performed on the Late Late Show with James Corden in January. And almost 17 months after Prioritise Pleasure, which was the Guardian's number one album of 2021, she took to the stage at the Sage Gateshead, and it was well worth the wait.
